Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 150: Through the Trapdoor

The three carefully bypassed the ghosts wandering around the castle and Mrs. Norris, and came to the end of the corridor on the fourth floor.

The wooden door was still firmly shut, and Hermione drew out her wand and whispered a spell over it—

"Araho Cave is open."

The lock on the wooden door jumped slightly, slowly opening a gap.

"Come in."

Hermione urged in a low voice, and the three of them pushed the door open and walked in, and closed the door behind their backs.

As they walked through the wooden door, Lu Wei's barking immediately sounded in their ears.

Just like Fish said, although Lu Wei couldn't see Harry and the others in the invisibility cloak, all three of its noses were sniffing wildly towards them.

"Quick! Music!"

Ron lowered his voice to remind, Harry quickly took out the flute that Hagrid gave him, stuffed it into his mouth and began to play.

Without waiting for Harry to think about what tune to play, Lu Wei's six eyelids began to droop when the flute sounded like a night owl, and his body became wobbly.

After a while, Lu Wei couldn't resist the drowsiness, and fell to the floor with a plop, with three heads snoring neatly.

"It's so simple..."

Listening to Harry's weird flute sound out of tune, Hermione grinned, faintly feeling that these levels arranged by Dumbledore were a bit of a joke.

She lifted off the invisibility cloak, walked around the sleeping dog, came to the trapdoor, and pulled the tab on it to open it.

"It's the same as Fish said, it's bottomless."

Ron poked his head and looked into the dark hole.

"Just like what I said before, I'll jump off first..."

Ron looked back at Harry, who was still playing the flute, and Hermione, who was beside him with a tense face, and took a deep breath.

Just when he was determined to jump down, Hermione suddenly reminded: "Take out your wand, and remember to use the Ignition Charm as soon as you go down, or you won't have time to draw out your wand when the devil's net wraps around you." gone."

"I know, I know."

Ron waved his hand impatiently, but he took out his wand as he said, and he nodded to Hermione and Harry with a serious expression again, and then jumped down.

After a few seconds, Hermione saw a faint fire light below, and then Ron's voice came from the hole.

"No problem! It's a soft landing! You can come down now!"

So Hermione and Harry jumped down one after another, and easily got rid of the entanglement of the devil's net.

"Fortunately, Fish told us in advance, otherwise we would be in big trouble."

Harry, who was the last to jump down, couldn't help sighing softly after Hermione helped him push back the tendrils of the devil's net.

At this time, Hermione felt more and more that something was wrong. She didn't think that something that could be forced back by a freshman with a little preparation could stop a dark wizard like Snape.

In herbal medicine class, she still remembers Professor Sprout's evaluation of Devil's Net clearly - although it is a bit troublesome, it is not a difficult plant for most wizards to deal with, as long as you keep calm.

So, is there really a Sorcerer's Stone hidden in it?
Hermione couldn't help but wonder.

In fact, this kind of idea has been vaguely existing since Hermione heard about Fish's experience, but she hadn't been able to experience these levels in person before, and knew that Fish's focus was often different from that of ordinary people, so It's not easy to give an accurate evaluation.

but now……

Hermione smacked her lips, and she began to suspect that this place was just a cover to deceive Snape, and that the real Philosopher's Stone was probably hidden elsewhere by Dumbledore.

"What are you staring at, Hermione?"

At this time, Ron suddenly stepped forward and interrupted Hermione's meditation, "We have to hurry up and get the Sorcerer's Stone before Snape, and there is no extra time to waste here!"

Hermione hesitated for a moment, but she didn't express her doubts. After all, they just came down, and there are still a few levels that they haven't seen. They should wait until they have seen it before making a conclusion.

So she remained silent, and followed Harry and Ron into the first room.

Countless keys with wings flew up and down in the sky, making soft rustling and jingling sounds.

"This is really beautiful. It should be the spell of Professor Flitwick or McGonagall, right?"

Ron raised his head, looked at the shiny keys flying in the sky, and sighed softly.

"Now is not the time to be emotional!"

Harry was the first to reach the heavy, locked wooden door.

"Araho Cave is open!"

He cast the Unlocking Charm on the wooden door without hesitation, but there was no response.

"Damn, it looks like we have to find the right one among these keys!"

Hermione froze for a moment. If the Unlocking Charm didn't work on this door, why wasn't the door in the hallway locked in the same way?

Besides, the anti-alahoo opening spell is not an unusual spell, it was mentioned in the textbook of the Charms class.

There are more and more loopholes, leading to deeper and deeper suspicion in Hermione's heart.

"But there are hundreds of keys on it!"

Ron and Harry, who didn't notice anything strange, were still discussing the solution.

After carefully checking the lock on the door, Ron said, "What we're looking for is a large antique key... probably silver and shaped like a doorknob."

After Harry looked around, he pointed excitedly at a row of broomsticks placed in the corner, "Look! The broomsticks! We can rely on them to catch the key to this door!"

Hermione became more silent as she looked at the broomsticks that were placed there generously.

"Hmph... It seems that your little trick has been seen through by that know-it-all lady, and only idiots like Potter and Weasley think that this kind of joke level can stop an adult wizard."

Snape, who was hiding aside, sneered, squinting at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore sighed and explained: "Because in these levels, besides wanting Harry to exercise, I also want to remind Quirinus to see if he can repent. Unfortunately, he and His master has been blinded by the Philosopher's Stone."

At the same time as explaining, Dumbledore also counterattacked in a subtle way, letting Snape know that Voldemort, who he had once loyal to, could not see the flaws in it.

"Humph!"

Snape, who had heard Dumbledore's subtext, restrained his mocking expression, and stopped speaking with a gloomy face.

It's not that he has nothing to say, but that he knows that if he continues to argue with Dumbledore, he will be dragged into such big principles as love and belief.

"Potter and Weasley were just worried that the Sorcerer's Stone would fall into the wrong hands, and didn't have time to think about it," Professor McGonagall argued for her students, and she couldn't hear the subtext of Dumbledore's sarcasm. , "Hermione has always been a smart kid."

Snape, who was identified as a "bad guy" by Harry and the others, twitched the corners of his mouth, but still did not speak.

The debate between recklessness and courage was a commonplace for Slytherin and Gryffindor, and he was not interested in discussing it with Professor McGonagall again.

"Minerva," Fish, who came to watch the excitement, tugged at Professor McGonagall's sleeve, "Why don't Scarhead and the others just open the door?"

Professor McGonagall glanced at his own kitty speechlessly. Harry and the others managed to use their brains to find the correct solution. If Fish came to break through, it would be reckless.

"This door can't be dismantled now," Dumbledore happily stroked his beard. "After you dismantled it last time, I specially strengthened this door with a spell."

"Meow! Bad old man, how do you know that I have demolished this door?!" ∑(●ΦДΦ●)
"Huh? When did you little bastard, Fish, sneak in?!"

The voices of the two Mags sounded almost simultaneously.

Professor McGonagall felt a little strange just now, and Harry and the others were a little too well prepared, and they seemed to have known the level here for a long time...

Was it because of Fish? !

Fish met Professor McGonagall's menacing gaze, and blinked...

"Hey~" (●><●)

　I am writing here that Hermione noticed something was wrong. In addition to her earlier knowing what was under the trapdoor and having enough time to think, it was also because of the lack of Halloween events against trolls that caused her to get involved with Harry and the others at first. Not so deep, can look at the problem more objectively.

　　In addition, studies have shown that petting cats often can relieve stress and regulate mental health. As a cat with a natural heart, it is reasonable for Fish to improve the inspiration of people around him a little, right?

　　And I already had the ability to write about it when Fish was visiting the Hufflepuff lounge.

　　……

　　Thanks to the damn deserter who can't go back to the past, the reckless man with a sudden face, and Sir GG for the reward.
